BASTROP (TEXAS) ADVKRTISKR, APRIL lS f«S
Rockne III) Club
Has Sewing
Demonstration
Hv Mrv \rthur (.oerti
Mi!-. Yerlin Hendrix irave a
demonstration on how to choose
pattern- win y at the Roclcne
HI) Club meeting held Friday
afternoon, March L>. in Sacred
Heart School cafeterir.
"Selecting the correct pattern
type to fit one's type of figure
■will cut down >n alterations.
Mis.se- and women's >ize- are
proportioned for th. majority of
women and provide the longest
bodice length. Half sizes arc
proportioned for the shorter and
fuller waited figure. Junior
nizcp ar. proportioned for the
more youthful figure with a
higher bustline," Mrs. Hendrix
said.
The bust measurement is the
first key in deciding the correct
pattern size to buy. If the hips
are large in proportion to the
bust, it is better to buy a pat-
tern according to the bust mea-
surement. Because usually the
skirt is easier altered than the
bedice.
Having someone take the mea-
surement- will insure a more
correct measurement. These
measurements .should be writ-
ten down and compared with the
standard measurement chart.
Then the correct pattern type
and size to fit one's own size
and figure can be chosen more
easily.
Mrs. Hendrix demonstrated
how to measure patterns for cor-
rect fitness. She said that the
waist pieces of a dress pattern
should be pinned together with
darts and tucks pinned in, the
skirt pieces pinned together, and
then the bodice and skirt pin-
nod together, giving one entire
half of the pattern. A piece of
bias tape -«veral inches lar-
ger than the pattern pieces to be
measured, the bust line, waist-
line, hips, and back bodice,
length, should be pinned on these
areas extending a few inches on
both sides of the pattern piece.
This is done to measure for cor-
rect width and length of adjust-
ment in the pattern and can be
made by using the bia- tape as
a measurement for addage re-
quired.
During the busines- meeting,
Mrs. Vernon Bartsch, president,
reported that the sum of $16.00
was realized for the club at the
luncheon held for the Men's Day
of Recollection. She also re-
ported that the Rockne 4-H boys
were going to participate in the
project of making small wooden
